i took a bumpy ride down the stairway from hell

Jul 19, 2024

The stairs at the barndo were created for children with feet less than 5″ long. There are 15 of them in total. I went up with only footies on my women’s size 10 feet to get a cooler shirt and mowing shoes from my closet. Merida, my shadow, followed me up there.

It was a dark day at the barndo. 🙁

I could’ve probably been heard; however, as far as Seymour yelling, “SHEEEEIT!!
